Twitter One Week Later

It’s been a week since I signed up on Twitter now and, in spite of my expectaions I must say I’m loving it. There are a lot of very helpful people there and it makes me feel like I’m more part of the community.

As I said before, the experience is made a lot more enjoyable by using a good Twitter client instead on the Web interface.
